I've had our Forester since we drove it off the lot. Not once has it given me hell and I'm only to 39,000 miles.

This is my wife's daily, and she really loves this thing. Needless to say I'd like to keep it around for a while. So I'm looking for a full service repair/shop manual. So I see that the Subaru website has files I can download after paying a subscription? I don't see a Haynes Manual, but from experience even if I find one I might not buy it as they're normally a little basic. I found this: Says they'll email you a PDF?

Anyone ever try that? Also I like having a physical manual I can carry out to the garage. I just don't mind getting grease on paper as much as I do on a keyboard. Someone drop some knowledge on me.

Many of the eBay manuals are in fact Subaru factory service manuals, which is good. The problem is, since they are illegally ripped off copies, they don't ever get updated with new information. Call up your local subaru dealership, and see if they will sell you a copy. It might be $30-$40, but it will be the most up to date version possible. They may not sell you one, depending on the dealership. Or something like alldatadiy.com has electronic copies for a good price with free updates over the lifetime of your subscription ($30 for 5 years). The paid subscription will get you a manual with the latest updates and is my preferred route.

There is a script on subaruoutback.org that some one did to aid in the DL process. I have linked to it before on here, if you search script under my screen name it should come up. You should also be able to get a cd from your dealer. Paper manuals from the dealer are just plain expensive, $250+. The ebay manuals are some times a crap shoot. There is a good chance they are out of date pirated manuals that have been floating around the web for years.

Or the seller is buying the cd/download/works at a dealer and taking a digital copy to resell multiple times. You buy, they email you a link, you DL and your done.

I have not personally done a ebay manual, but I know people who have when they decided they wanted one now and I didn't have one for their car when we were working on it. EDIT: Here is the script I mentioned. I keep meaning to ask Annapolis Subaru if they can/will start a thread with legit manuals on CD, but forget about it. I don't understand. Why would some dealerships sell them, and others hoard them? I have about 3 dealerships in the area; I would hope one of them would sell it to me, but why would a dealership not sell if they had them/could order them.

They aren't required to sell them. Same with the subaru diagnostic computer, crank pulley tools, and a few other specialized subaru tools. It essentially takes away from the business they would get (if you can't get the tools/info, you have to bring it in to them to do it!).

Some dealerships (usually the better ones that actually care about the enthusiast crowd) order extra of these, and then turn around and sell them to those that need them. Hi there, I got my MY12 model Forester manual from subaru manuals there were no problems with the transaction. I also amassed a number of other Subaru manuals by judicious Google searches off from the internet. Most of the data is so common between models. The only issue is that there is a mixture of JDM manuals and manuals for USDM vehicles. So, I ignore the USDM single range 5speed gearbox section and revert to an older Dual Range JDM manual, for example. All these manuals are stored as pdf on the PC and just require the print out of the sheets you need while planning the task.

I would not be put of buy the pdf copy. For the price, you can afford to lose the crap shoot if they turn out to be a shoot of crap. It is ony $5 dollars.

^^^^This^^^^ I did the same thing, from the same guys for my 2011. I had the.pdf manual in a few minutes after paying with paypal.all 4380-ish pages of it. It may not have the latest updates, but, I am not expecting to use the manual too much in the near future;).knocks on wood. But, for $15, I do not want to pass up the chance to get it now.

And I am pretty sure it will work for over 95% of my needs:) Good luck! I also got the eBay manual from subarumanuals for my '12. A GREAT BUY!! It may be a ripped off pdf copy of the OEM Subaru manual, but it's a perfect copy of that. For previous cars I've purchased the expensive OEM paper manuals & I never got updates to those.

Normally I'm not big into buying pirated IP, but I consider the IP, the engineering & design of the Subaru in my driveway which I paid for. I consider the repair manual no different than the owners manual for the car, a computer, a camera, etc. Which I can download for free off the internet.

If Subaru considered them to be a illegally ripped off copy, it would be super easy for Subaru to have put the kybosh on it.
